Although I am a 'follower' I do no...Carol,<br /><br />Although I am a 'follower' I do not leave comments that often. I think that's because I am a novice printmaker and I feel a bit intimidated about leaving comments for a professional artist but this post of yours is very heartfelt and it deserves a response.<br /><br />I think you're wrestling with the eternal dilemma. Do you make what you want to make or what people will buy? All too often I see artists whose work as not evolved. They've found a little comfortable niche and they're going to stay there come what may. If you want to create I think you have to take risks some times and the Hadrian's Wall idea sounds like something you should go for. You'll never know if it's going to sell unless you do and it might not be your work that's out of kilter. Perhaps it's the medium you're using to sell them in? What about trying another way?<br />Reading this back I realise I have not said anything coherent really.Sorry! In a nutshell I'm saying create what you want and find the buyer for that through the right channel rather than find the buyers and make what they want!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.com
